#10. Sting vs. Triple H--Wrestlemania 31

It took thirty years, but Sting finally appeared in a WWE ring.
It took thirty years, but Sting finally appeared in a WWE ring.

When WCW lost the Monday Night War and was subsequently purchased by rival WWE, many fans rubbed their hands together in glee anticipating the talents who could now wrestle on Vince McMahon's show.

Chief among these was Sting himself, but alas, it was not meant to be. A combination of Sting's Christian moral code and his desire to recast himself as an actor rather than pro wrestler kept him out of the WWE for a long time.

Sting wound up wrestling for TNA/Impact for years, and while he did well in that role fans still felt cheated that Sting never laced up the boots in a WWE ring.

That moment finally came when Sting took on Triple H at Wrestlemania 31.

Why this is a must-see match: First of all, it's Sting's first and most likely only Wrestlemania appearance. Second, you have the NWO, Degeneration X, and two wily veterans finally locking horns and putting the Monday Night War to bed at last.
